A great starter double bass drum pedal with the essential hi-hat drop clutch.

Sound Percussion prides itself on delivering top notch equipment at a working musician's price. This SP770DPC double bass pedal set is no exception, offering a durable single-chain drive, and consistent double-bass rumble at less than you might think. Plus, you'll also get a hi-hat drop clutch so you can keep the hi-hats clamped while you pound 32nd notes on the kick drums.

This hi-hat clutch functions like a snare throw-off. Disengage and drop the top cymbal by hitting the clutch with a drum stick. Step on the pedal and the clutch attaches itself at its original position.

I bought this for my daughter's Ludwig set, as her drum teacher wanted her to start learning some double pedal techniques. The pedal came mostly assembled, but had no instructions with it (Musician's friend: please get a tech in on this). It only took a short time to assemble, but you will probably have to move a few things around in your kit, in order to place the pedal and give a clear route for the driveshaft between the pedals. The two extra screws in the kit are used as extra locks on the ends of the shaft, once you have it in position. Just a note, if your bass drum hoop is not a flat surface where the pedal clamps on (the Ludwig hoop has a groove around it inside and out), you may have to use something as a spacer, so that the clamp has something to press on, and doesn't just try to lift up the drum when you tighten it. If you have a friend who's savvy with drum hardware, they should be able to help you with any problems you run into. The beaters are OK, but are not adjustable for angle. I bought a set of Tama beaters, and these are adjustable. So far it's looking and working good. It seems smooth and quiet, and the pedal action between the two seems fairly even. It even looks like the bearings in this unit are replaceable, if it wears out. Definitely a good buy.

Ive had these pedals for about 3 years now i got them with my first kit when i was 12.they are ok pedals for the price but they will not last to long.they lasted me about 3 yearsand i played the hell out of them.their broken now i was playing and a swrew kjust dissapeared so i will get a new one soon probably a dww 3000.i recomend these pedals to anyone on a tight budget or someomne looking for a first double bass pedal.

I have been pleasantly surprised by this double pedal. I went cheap because I have never played double bass, wanted to start out on something like this before upgrading. After 2 years, I'm still playing it. Easy to set up, easy to use, no issues with it so far. The hi-hat drop clutch that came with it also works great. Overall, great buy for the price.

It's a great pedal especially for the price that includes a highhat clutch. I've read other reviews that complained because there weren't any assembly instructions, well go back to Musicians Friends catalog and look at the pictures. The assembly is pretty basic, especially for a drummer.

After reading many reviews, chose to order this set for my 13 year old son. He's been playing drums for about 1 1/2 years and this was his first dual bass pedal. He does use another dual pedal at his drum school but doesn't feel like this one is of any less quality. He has been using it at home practicing for about a month and is very happy with it. He had no trouble setting it up on his own and after making a few adjustments he says he is very happy with it. I know there are much better pedals out there, but this is perfect for what we need it for and the price couldn't be better.

These pedals come practically assembled and ready to use. Just unfold them out of the box, connect left to right, clamp them down and have a seat. You'll be rolling away within 15 minutes. The units are well constructed and complete in every way. The FREE quick release hi-hat clutch installs quickly and works perfectly every time. These items will add a new dimension to your playing. Amaze your friends with your bass drum speed. Great all the way.

Arrived promptly as promised. I had it up and running within 10 minuets. There was nothing much to set up; it came fully assembled. I don't play professionally any longer but this pedal has held up great for practice. Definitely, a great first-time, all-metal, quality double base pedal!

Easy to assemble except has an odd allen screw size for tightening main pedal. Has a great range of adjustment left/right and the angled 2nd pedal for indidivual placement. It has quick pedal action and no chain slop between beats. The wide pedals are a plus.
